Matt Smith presented on strength and conditioning strategies for British Basketball teams. He discussed performance preparation programs that included strength and power training, recovery strategies, and monitoring athletes' progress. Testing metrics included vertical jump, sprint times, agility, and endurance tests. Training programs followed periodized plans focused on building volume and power over time. Recovery strategies involved nutrition, self-massage, hydrotherapy, and stretching. Monitoring tools included GPS, heart rate, and training load analysis to track athletes' emotional and physical states.
